Feel-Good Story of the Day...

Reader Pam sends in this story that positively makes me want to sing:

Bellingham boy, 10, defends mom with BB gun
BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Bellingham police say a 10-year-old boy defended his mother from an attacker by shooting him in the face with a BB rifle as many as four times.

The woman and boy were able to flee to a neighbor's home Tuesday morning and call for help.

Sadly, I can't add this to the DGC, but it was still worth mentioning. That's one hell of a tough kid - he took on a drunk man with a board and then a BB gun. Now, granted, had this happened in MA that kid would be up on assault charges and the mother would be arrested on child endangerment for letting a child within 1,000 feet of a BB gun, but fortunately it happened in a (relatively) free state where (hopefully) the young man will be given the keys to the city and a parade, or at the very least, not punished for his actions.

No doubt the Bradys are busy preparing a press release decrying the easy availability of high capacity assault BB guns to minors as we speak...

That is all.

You know, if that had happened at Nancy R.'s Home, Sweet Daughter would have grabbed her EPR (Evil Pink Rifle) in .22LR, and there would have been a DGC addition.

That is, if Nancy had left her anything. to shoot at. ; )

Moral of the Story: Mom's need to be armed also.

Yeah, and the best part is in prison, the guy is gonna get his ass kicked over and over for being the guy who got his ass bet by a kid with a BB gun....

If he was in the UK the 10 yr old would have been placed in care and his mother arrested.
